I will resping the dynamic allocation patches, but I would also like to get sysfs part going - there are bunch of locking issues (or rather absence of locking ;) ) in input core and I would like to fix it but I don't want to redo it later to account for sysfs rules. That's why I am pushing to get some kind of sysfs resolution. Again, that "name override" would go away later, I do not propose it as a permanant solution. -- Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
